Posted February 20, 200520 yr I was just wondering what's the biggest wires you guys can use for the sub to the amp and the wires for wiring the dvc terminals together (if you have dvc) the biggest i've seen were 8g, is that the biggest it can go?, personally i never tried this so i wouldn't know and im planning to upgrade my wires sooooooooooon
February 20, 200520 yr Unless you have some extreme setup, dont waste time and money. 12 or 10g will work fine.I think i'm using 10g and 8g. Its a pain in the ass too
February 20, 200520 yr i use 10g for most big stuff...8 gauge is pushing it. the 18 solo x has a neat terminal setup that allows 8 gauge pretty easy. but for everyday drivers, 12 gauge is more then enough.also, a certain team will tell ya that u don't gain anything with bigger speaker wire as they have even used 4 gauge. score didn't change, so they went back to 10 gauge. they will tell ya that more runs from the battery back with the biggest wire u can shove thru ur vehicle will result in gaining tenths on the meter.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 20, 200520 yr I run 14 guage standard unless I have a myriad of drivers or an extreme length. If this is the case, I will size accordingly.
February 20, 200520 yr I think I'm using 10ga or 12ga for my Uberwoofer ... and it's WAY too big. I'll be downsizing pretty quick ...
February 20, 200520 yr I used 12 ga and switched to 10 ga(no difference) on my sub earlier. I got some extra 11 ga but not sure if i will need it and may just stick with my ol' 12 ga. The distance is so short between the amp and sub that you probably could even use 16 ga.
February 22, 200520 yr i have 14ga in the truck for 1kw.i have 10ga in the car for 3kw.you dont need gigantic speaker wire to move the power. higher voltage.
February 23, 200520 yr 8ga to the bramas.only reason is beacuse i didnt have any wire that was long enough Plus,it fit in the terminals.The 4000D cah accept 6ga in its speaker output terminals
